Returning from a third stay in Morocco since the assassination of his son in February 2018 in Marrakech, Jacques Foltran and his son Arnaud, are exasperated by the sluggishness of Moroccan justice even though it has just informed them that the suspect’s DNA was also confused in the kidnapping and rape of a French pensioner.
Returning from yet another stay in Marrakech to meet the investigating judge seized of the case, and the new prosecutor of Marrakech, Arnaud, 48 years old, Pascal’s brother, and Jacques Foltran, 82 years old, the father, do not understand the delays of Moroccan justice even though the Marrakchi police have from the beginning the composite portrait and the DNA of a suspect.
A situation all the more unbearable for the family as they learned during this stay that this genetic fingerprint was also confused in another criminal case where the victim is a 74-year-old French retiree living in Marrakech.

“We have just learned that the DNA of the suspect found in Pascal’s villa matched that of Maryse (we will call her that) who had been diced and raped at her home in Marrakech in October 2017, three months before the aggression of my brother”, testifies Arnaud alongside his father in Montauban in the office of his lawyers Me Jean-Lou Lévi, and Majda Loukili of the bar of Meknes.
Classified for two years for lack of identified author
Facts, they learned, which were closed without further action, 2 years ago, by the Marrakech prosecutor’s office, for lack of an identified author. “They have had all his elements for years but they haven’t arrested anyone,” thunders Jacques.
This former regional director of the credit company Sofinco Toulouse is all the more affected by this new stay in the Chérifien kingdom that he had the impression that the examining magistrate made fun of him. “He made us wait 2 hours before receiving us in 7 minutes flat in his office”, maintains the former banker saying “having had trouble containing himself” in the face of the contempt displayed by the investigating magistrate. “He spent more time asking me about my marital status even though in 2019 he had refused to see me on the pretext that on my son’s death certificate, I could not prove my status as a father” , storm the octogenarian having the hard tooth against the authorities of the kingdom.
“For them the motive for the crime, it remains the hypothesis of a drug-addicted homeless man who came to steal Pascal in the middle of the night”, annoys Jacques who, like his lawyer, does not swallow this conjecture for a moment, no object having been Fly. Same observation for Majda Loukili assisting Me Lévi in his steps on the spot: “The tramp taking drugs with glue in the street who does not steal anything, and who was able to strike with such force Pascal: it is not logical ” .
Jacques, who returned during this stay to his son’s villa with photos and plans, shows his lawyer that all this does not hold water. “After having passed the 2 meter high perimeter wall, broken a padlock with the pickaxe to enter, the suspect does not open any other door in a house which is a maze. He goes straight to our son and daughter-in-law’s room with a pickaxe to hit him while he sleeps. Without a detailed plan of the place, how can he do it in the middle of the night? asks the octogenarian.
“It’s bullshit! exclaims Arnaud. “This judicial obstruction is driving our family crazy, they are hiding something, it suits them. We don’t understand why? », Storms the former restaurateur, supporting his remarks by the fact that the OCRVP (central office for the repression of violence against people) has never received any response from the Moroccan authorities to their proposal for international assistance to solve this assassination.
